Roadmap

2013.3 (July)

without target milestone.

Military ground units
- Production of weapons and units
- Unit transportation
- Related buildings: barrack, gunsmith
2 food types, to reflect the many kinds of food production in the gameplay
Rivers: generally rather liked, but could need a well thought-out design and not too trivial implementation
- This is part of the ambient gfx/nature issue
Research
New settler design (consumption, happiness, taxes, upgrading)
extend first scenario, add second scenario
fisher assignments + fisher unit before boatbuilders are available
[Resource groups] (http://wiki.unknown-horizons.org/w/Resource_groups): [Group proposal] (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgG5ocrVYfURdF9faTAtMmExUUt1Z1h2VWs2emdLVEE&output=html)
military ground units (possibly unit transportation) (Kilian)
building radius highlight improvements (nihathrael)
[Climate zones] (http://wiki.unknown-horizons.org/w/Climate)
plague #1275
cattle run
blender #629, spice field #625
vineyard #1448, vintner #605
pastry shop, cocoa field #1448, alvearies #1450

Collectors
- currently, refiners such as weaver, distillery, smeltery, toolmaker and brickyard use the BuildingCollector which requires no road connection to collect stuff in range of its home building
- question: how do you want to behave our refiners? ideas for a consistent approach? when is a road connection required and when is 'being in range' sufficient?
Lock buildings and residential upgrade requirements
- Right now, having one residential building upgrade to a new tier unlocks all buildings of that tier forever
- We want to discuss whether to keep the current implementation or add a more fine-grained structure
  - e.g. on first upgrading inhabitant, unlock all buildings but not the service providers and perhaps one resource production chain
  - then, unlock the service providers after a certain number of inhabitants in this tier exists
  - unlocking new things is always a good feeling for players (and this might also reduce the overwhelming amount of new buildings in new tiers, where you can't really enjoy a single one because you got all of them)
  - problem: communicating this barrier to players. solution: deactivate and modify tooltip in build menu. sufficient?
- whether or not to add further requirements for advancing to next tier
  - and how those could look like (settlement size / inhabitant amount in certain tier)
